    Between waking up and holding on to the ref and then walking around the ring, dude was given over 20 seconds to recover. No other ref in any other country would have given him that.
    I understand that but Fury did beat the 10 count and was coherent. As a fellow American I don't want a cheap victory and sorry for calling you "bro". I also wasn't calling you a liar. I meant I can't even lie about the fight lol. Wilder lost that fight.

      Yet he threw more punches and was the more active fighter....

        I get why Brits thought Fury won.

        But, there were a lot of close rounds.

        A draw is fine and I hope they do it again.

        And no, Fury did not benefit from a "long count".

        Go back and watch.

        The referee did the count expertly and accurately and Fury did indeed beat the count.
        No not really. No close rounds. Rounds are clear which ones are Fury's. Fury was landing clean shots that you can tell Wilder was frustrated and can't even get clean shots in. Fury was hitting and dodging shots as he made Wilder burn his fuel. It was a masterpiece. Wilder only had his brute strength, but the better man was clearly Fury's. His skill is way better than Wilder's brute caveman boxing.

          I didn’t really care who won but I was shocked when the media had the first 5 for fury Honestly neither guy did ***** but wilder was pressing the action and could have easily taken a few of those rds.

          Their we’re a lot bias folks rooting for fury at that was clear as day

              You should watch it again. I Heavyweight fights. They throw less because they are big lumbering fighters. They throw less, but their punches sting. In this weight class. The cleaner more effective punches even though its not as many as lower weight class matters. And in this fight. Fury landed those clean effective punches all night. Stiff jabs, right hooks, perfect one twos that broke the guard of Wilder. It was impressive.

              Watch again. There's a reason why Wilder has a shiner.

              Fury's stiff jab was landing all night.

                Punchstats say different.

                My eyes say different.

                Most importantly, the judges said different.

                Live with it, son...

                  Fury wasn't lucky to get a draw. A draw was the right decision.


                  And I hate draws.

                    It's because Floyd said that he had Fury up the first 5 rounds...which surprised the hell out of me at the time. But if Floyd says something, it's gospel it seems.

                      Exactly.

                      I am laughing my azz off at some of these posters.

                      Same guys that have GGG beating Canelo simply for coming forward can't see the same thing for Wilder even tho Deontay was more effective vs Fury than G was vs Saul.

                      Hilarious...
